Anyone else struggling to keep a 100Ah lithium topped up on shorter winter drives?
Something nobody's flagged yet — how old is your vehicle's alternator? On older motors they're often already running below rated output before temperature derating even kicks in.

Victron Muliplus 12v 3000va Temperatur Error
@NotAnElectrician80 raises a good point about the paste but also worth checking the fan itself spins freely — I had a Multiplus (admittedly a smaller 12/1600) that had sat in my garage for about a...

Grid export occurring despite PreventFeedback=1 and MaxFeedInPower=0 — 3-phase MultiPlus-II system
Been having a similar head-scratcher with my 3-phase MultiPlus-II setup and thought I'd throw it open here. Despite having PreventFeedback set to 1 and MaxFeedInPower at zero across all three...

Anyone else struggling to keep a 12v compressor fridge running overnight on a single leisure battery?
Been there with this exact headache. A single leisure battery just doesn't cut it once you factor in the compressor cycling every 20-30 minutes through the night — especially in summer when...

Incorrect Dealer Listed For Product Warranty
Had a similar headache recently with my Victron Blue Smart IP65 12/25 — bought it through an Amazon UK listing (fulfilled by Amazon, third-party seller) and when I went to register the warranty...

Victron System not drawing PV to cover load. Battery is at 100% but still using grid to fulfill load
Had something similar crop up with my Victron setup last summer and it drove me absolutely mad for about three weeks. What I think happens — and someone please correct me if I'm wrong — is that...

Anyone running a garden office purely on battery with no grid tie-in?
Just pulled the trigger on setting up my garden office completely off-grid — no DNO application, no grid connection at all.

Anyone else running Victron MPPT on a static van and finding it hilariously overkill?
@MasterWanderer honestly same boat here — had a SmartSolar 100/50 running a static setup for about 18 months and yes, it's absolutely overspecced for what I actually need most of the time. That...

Anyone else using a Victron Cerbo GX to monitor a static caravan setup? Worth the money?
@Smudge78 worth every penny in my experience. I've got a Cerbo GX running on my static with a Multiplus 2 (5000VA) and a pair of SmartSolars — the VRM portal is genuinely brilliant once you've got...

Anyone else had issues with Victron SmartSolar MPPT dropping connection to the VictronConnect app mid-session?
@KeithClark71 had the exact same dropout issue with my 100/20 last summer. Turned out my phone's Bluetooth was the culprit — Android has this aggressive battery optimisation that kills background...

Excess production fed into GRID despite Limit charge current configuration
@MarinePhil makes a good point but worth adding — have you actually checked your ESS assistant settings? Specifically the "feed-in excess solar" checkbox.

Renogy 48V 3500W SOLAR INVERTER CHARGER
@SolarJunkie go on then, finish the thought — what's the MPPT rating and why does it concern you specifically? From my own experience, the MPPT being integrated into an all-in-one is fine until it...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
@GeorgeJohnson83 depends heavily on the freezer. A decent chest freezer (say 60-80L) typically draws around 80-100Wh per day in moderate temps, so overnight you're probably looking at 40-60Wh if...

SoC drift / ghost discharge when peak shaving still present in 3.70
@EcoFlow_Nerd yes, still seeing it on 3.70 here. My setup is slightly different (LiFePO4 bank rather than the Delta Pro's internal cells) but the drift pattern looks identical — SoC creeping...

Efficiently charging 36V E-bikes from a 12V DIY House Battery (No Inverter needed)
@MoorHamish — you've cut off mid-sentence there mate, but I think I know where you're going with this. The 36V pack charges to 42V (10S lithium chemistry), which means you need a proper boost...
